Replacing home internet with 4g hotspot?

QFT...

Consumer: "but my unlimited plan gives me the RIGHT to download 300GB/s of data each month!"

Cellular Industry: "yeah right"

Data Caps.

I would personally thank iPhone users for abusing the snot out of AT&T's unlimited data plans for all of this.

At&t will also be placing caps on DSL and uverse customers starting next month. 150gb for dsl users, 250 for uverse. 10.00 for every 50 gb over.

curious, are you thinking of the overdrive PRO or the novatel mifi unit? im working with the novatel unit but am interested in seeing if the overdrive pro is a better unit. i know the battery life seems longer (due to more real estate inside the larger box, however im told the wimax antennas are not shielded from the internal RF from the components... )

I've been using the Sprint Overdrive since last summer. Although I wouldn't recommend this particular device the 4G service itself is excellent. The Overdrive is plagued with well documented problems. When it actually connects and stays connected the service is fast and solid, as with the 4G service on my Epic. As for using WiMax 4G inside, I've found it needs to be positioned for optimal signal, I set mine on top of the refrigerator. I may eventually switch to the new MiFi unit, but I'm waiting to see how the reviewers feel about it first.

I am refering to the new novatel mifi. I will not buy another sierra wireless hotspot unless they makes some major changes to the design.
